A short bilingual Coptic and Greek order for the payment of one large measure of wine, issued through Abba Petros, the steward of the monastery. It is dated Epeiph 21 of a first indiction and comes from the monastery of Bawit in the Hermopolite nome, 8th century AD.
The Coptic opening line is obscure and its rendering here is tentative. The "large" (mega) is a standard wine measure in these monastic orders.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Ordre de paiement de vin). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
